Timothy Olyphant And Conan O’Brien: A Late Night Match Made In Heaven

If you have yet to bite into Netflix‘s latest original series, Santa Clarita Diet, you’re gonna want to get to it very soon. The twisted comedy is funny and unique, with Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant’s sweet marriage as realtors Joel and Sheila Hammond at the center of the show. The two have a lovely chemistry with each other as they navigate the latest challenges to their family life. While it seems next to impossible to not vibe with Barrymore, Olyphant actually demonstrates an even stronger, more emotionally in-tune chemistry on screen with someone else. And that honor belongs to Conan O’Brien.

The two have been pals for years, and anytime Olyphant sits down in that comfy blue chair next to O’Brien’s desk, it shows. Conan is a staple for nearly any press tour Olyphant is on, and while he’s a charismatic guy, he’s most at home next to his pal Coco. In fact, maybe he’s too comfortable? He’s decided to forgo a fancy late night suit on several occasions, even appearing on the show in just a casual shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops combo.

The fact that the buddies hang out in places other than the Conan set gives their talk show fodder an extra personal and even funnier edge. Hearing about their double dates? Yes please! Watching O’Brien examine Olyphant’s toes? Oddly great! Discovering that the rapport is there even in moments not intended for air? So cute. Anytime Olyphant shows up, viewers know they’re in for a segment that is going to be surprising, hilarious, and definitely just a little bit weird. These are some of Tim O. and Coco’s best BFF moments together. Bask in the bromance!

In his most recent appearance on the show to promote Santa Clarita Diet, Olyphant details his experience with Willie Weed.

Olyphant busts ’em with O’Brien, wondering out loud how he landed his beautiful wife.

Sorry other talk shows that weren’t treated to a pantless Tim.

There’s no stopping this friendship — it even rolled over to a “scraps” clip.
